It's no secret that weddings can costs big bucks, but are you prepared for the actual number?

By the time you add up the flowers, the dress, the food at the reception, and that open bar, and maybe booking a cool place like the Storybook Inn or Cochino Lodge, the tally can reach the price of a small SUV.

We learned last Friday just how amazing our Lufkin Little League baseball team is, when they scored 12 runs in the bottom of the first inning. Yikes! There was no way Oklahoma was going to overcome a hole that big, and the Lufkin Little League all-star team won 14-1 at the Southwest Regional Tournament in Waco.

There have been other wins and losses in pool play over the past few days, including a big win Monday night against Colorado. If the team had lost that game, the season would have been over. They beat Colorado that night, and Louisiana yesterday to move to the final round.

This Friday, our Lufkin All-Stars will play on National TV in the regional finals, for the chance to go to the Little League World Series.

When most people think about oil, they think about money. Cash seems to follow the industry, and some of the wealthiest people in the US are linked to oil. Could an influx of oil money be coming to Lufkin?

A new Angelina Tank and Manufacturing plant has opened up after the city of Lufkin worked hard to draw it in and encourage the owner to set up shop here. The company manufactures tanks and other materials to support the oil industry. And there may be an opportunity for you to get involved.

Angelina Beautiful/Clean is doing its part to make sure kids have school supplies as they head back to class. And in this case it doesn't go directly to students, but instead it's a stockpile of supplies for teachers.

Teachers have been known to spend their own money on supplies for the classroom since they can't always rely on other funding sources in the age of cutbacks. Can you imagine spending your own money on paper and printers at the office just so you can get your work done? Teachers are awesome in so many ways.

Venturing outside these days makes it hard to breath. Even walking from the nice, cool office out to the car after work can make a girl sweat. And we don't even want to talk about that temperature inside the car. Ouch! Those seats are sizzlin'.

We probably don't have to tell you that a heat advisory is in effect for much of East Texas, including Angelina and Nacogdoches Counties, through 7pm Thursday. What does that mean exactly?

The Lufkin Little League baseball team may not be watching the Little League World Series at home on the couch this year. A few more wins, and they'll make the trip to Williamsport to play for a title...

This news cannot be surprising to anyone having absorbed the cavalier attitude of today's college and pro athletes, and with so much money invested in talent, the "stars" seem to get a free pass more often than the "math major", or band member.

There's something inherently cool about a small town. The people are nice (although they all know each other and can be in everyone's business), there's no traffic, and the stress level can be lower. I'm headed to my one-stoplight hometown in Nebraska for a little family bonding time next week and we're planning to sit on the deck and stare at the trees, and ask the local farmers for permission to walk into their fields and pick corn. Why vacation in a tropical location when you can have that kind of fun? Small towns rock.
